Anyone 12 or older needs a Nevada fishing licence — the resident annual is about $40, the non-resident annual about $80, with 1-day (~$9 resident / ~$18 non-resident, plus ~$7 for each added day) options. There is no separate trout stamp for general fishing, though a Colorado River endorsement covers the interstate reach and a trout validation is needed to keep trout on a few waters. Children under 12 fish free. Buy from the Nevada Department of Wildlife at ndow.org. Note: Pyramid Lake and other tribal waters need a tribal permit instead. A Nevada fishing licence covers this water — it is on NDOW's Nevada Fishable Waters list. (Tribal waters such as Pyramid Lake need a tribal permit instead.)
